May I know the BT transfer can be done on two different banks of CC at the same times?

And the amount will be total up of two CC balance and make installment, right?

Hi, Can anyone briefly explain what is the fee here? refer to admin fee??

Exp: if taking Plan A with BT 2k, fee 3.3%, zero interest

mean RM66 (2,000 x 3.3%) fee need to be pay?
So, total RM2000 + RM66 = RM2066
divide by 6 month for pay off, RM344.33 per month??

Is above calculation correct?

How about Plan C, there is zero fee, but only with 0.499% interest

Appreciated your explanation & thank you. notworthy.gif

fee is normally paid upfront when BT approved. your calculation is correct, total you need to pay 2066

however, if i am not mistaken (i can't be sure), the RM 66 fee is charged on the 1st month

so most likely will be

1st month = 333 + 66
2nd month -> 6th month = 333

##########

zero fee with monthly interest i think different bank have different method

some bank charge the 0.499 on how much balance you owe. some charge 0.499 of the initial BT amount irrespective how much you have paid back.
But most go for the 2nd method

better ask the bank to get correct info
*
Based on your explanation, Plan C would be much more better than Plan A, since there is zero fee charging.

As you mentioned above, majority of the ppl will go for Plan C right?

Hmm, maybe I can call and ask properly about this.

Thanks for your advice.

for BT, persoanlly i use PBB, BSN

since you first touch BT, let me give you a friendly reminder

BT can save you lots of money BUT if you don't use it properly, you will get burned even more than you don't do BT at all
*
haha, thanks for your kind reminder rclxms.gif

No worry about payment.

but what u mean by here "dont use it properly"?

Is this mean late payment, no pay full amount on monthly, something like this??

Just would like to ensure everything is clear regarding this before involved in BT

But, I believe there is no anything need to be concern if I always pay on time, right? then no worry about extra charge

what i mean is if you do bt, you would have extra cash in hand. Good in the sense if you put in FD or your flexi home loan account. will earn / save you lots of interest

however, once you do this bt over and over again (yes, you can BT from Bank A to B, then next month B to A, repeat...), you will have lots of "cash". These cash will tempt a lot of people to spend (instead of save)

At the end of the day you would have to pay the BT with your own cash (you can't BT forever, there is a limit). So, if you spend instead of saving the BT money, you would have no cash left to pay them, and now they will charge you standard credit card finance fee (12% to 18% PA).

This is when your nightmare starts

Of course, if you have confidence to clear your cc debt on time all the time, then this is no issue

extra cash in hand??

hmm let me briefly with this:

owe 2k for credit card from Bank A, now going to do BT.
Bank B will help to pay off the balance 2k for Bank A, whereas I no longer owe bank A credit card 2k, but will pay back money to Bank B by monthly, am I right?? smile.gif

So, why to say got extra cash in hand?? hmm.gif

I just would like to make a simple to clear the balance for 6 months, BT and end (pay off), no thinking about BT and BT again.

hsbc got bt but i didn't put it in yet (don't know why  hmm.gif )

so far my personal experience, you can't do bt over phone. fax definitely can. some banks can accept scanned and email

1 to 3 weeks depend on bank

Thanks for your information.

I have just went to HSBC branch to ask about BT in 1U.

Currently, they are offer 3% upfront charge with the total amount of BT, with zero interest rate, period is six months. Quite good with only one time charge.

Bank will charge 1.45% per month if there have outstanding balance after six months.

Besides, get to know from the staff said that this BT can be done on phone...I was shocking.gif dont know true or not.

Perhaps will make a call to more further information since this branch in 1u only services for "Amanah"

For you info, Maybank BT also charge 3% up front, but is 0% for 12 month ....haha
which one is good?

I have go through MBB BT, any different between interest charge & upfront fee? I mean which one will be select when do the BT, people sure will go to interest charge instead of upfront fee since upfront fee is higher % than interest charge.

Interest charge may useful for the amount is lesser, and upfront fee may useful for quite lot amount need to be BT, is this make sense??

May I know the branch in 1u can process for BT??

Maybe because it's my second time to do BT with AEON... maybe first time takes much longer.
Not sure if you can process BT at the same time as CC application.... go over and ask.

I have checked with the staff, new cc application and BT can be done in there. rclxms.gif

FYI, new application for cc will be free 3 years annual fee as it stated on the banner

i have to admit, CIMB BT is the Best. From submitting the form by Fax and money to appear in acc just only 3 working days! Amazing.

Unlike SCB, apply to tele recorded and requires 10 working days which is almost 12 days for the money goes through. End up i have to clear those due payment first for healthy CCRIS

How is the charge for CIMB BT ??

Currently no information in the first page. Maybe can update detail in the first page??

pls note that there is a general rule of thumb, u can't BT more than 80% of your available credit balance

what i normally do is b4 i do BT, i call the bank first to confirm the max i can BT

if you try to BT more than the amount you are allowed + they don't inform you your BT rejected (i kena b4), i end up paying for late charges because i thought it is settled but actually not
*
I have encounter this happened as well, luckily I have called to confirm my application before statement due date.

BT could not be done due to credit limit issued, so I need to settle few hundred only entitled for the amount that I request to BT.

AEON BT user .. can you confirm if AEON create a separate BT  account for each of the 0% BT application ?

i read from product disclosure sheet .. early settlement will not have any penalty fee

Early Settlement Fee
AEON Credit shall be entitled to debit from the cardmember’s account as per following:
NOTE: No penalty for early settlement of 0% Balance Transfer.
*
No separate account is created, same under credit card account, can see the BT amount in monthly statement
